Cost is £10 per adult, £6 per child to take part National Trust members need only pay £3 each but they need to give me their Membership number and also bring their card on the day.

Format will be slightly amended to create more time to enjoy the sights and sounds of Sutton Hoo, as it will again be their 1930's Garden Party and a Spitfire fly-past, but you will play as pairs playing over a fixed 7 ends, to create the quick turnaround of matches.

Entry will be limited to a maximum of 12 teams. Have already got 8 teams confirmed pending full entry details.

Entries can be paid online in the Leagues Bank Account details but send me an email to confirm who is in your team and any National Trust membership numbers.

There are a few outstanding matches according to the League Results Officers fixture lists, but these may have been played but the scorecard hasn't been sent in yet. If that is the case, can you please forward the relevant scorecard(s) as soon as possible.

Our Belgian friends, La Petanque Montoise, will be here in a few days, so if you aren't taking part in the matches, please come along and support England as we take on Belgium over three days of fierce(!!) boules action.

The King Raedwald Cup makes a welcome return to our calendar on Sunday 24th July, with the 4-player-a-team tournament to be held at Sutton Hoo, near Woodbridge, home of the world famous Sutton Hoo burial.

This event is open to a maximum of 10 teams, with a cost in line with last years fees, but with Natiomal Trust members only having to pay the competition entry fee only.

We still have some space available if you'd like to be part of the travelling League team to compete against our friends from Nottinghamshire on Saturday 18th June, at the home of Nottingham City Petanque Club

8 places left.

The cost to play is £5 per person, and you can express your interest by emailing the League Co-Ordinator via imogenlewiskira@sky.com

Funny that I put up messages and info on this Blogsite, inviting comment, debate, response etc and very little happens.

When I turn my focus to other methods of Social Media interaction to put out info etc, several people have asked whether I still use this site as they regularly check it and there is nothing more recent on it!!!
